Take Back The Capitol – Occupy Washington D.C., Dec. 5-9

Take Back The Capitol – Occupy Washington D.C., Dec. 5-9

Next week the 99% are taking Congress back from the 1%. Hundreds of activists and jobless workers from around the country are coming to Washington to fight for JOBS, not cuts.

There’s going to be a massive occupation on the National Mall. We’re going to swarm Congress with thousands of visits and calls for extending unemployment insurance and creating GOOD jobs for everyone, and there will be a huge rally on K Street to make the 1% pay their fair share.

Sign up today and let us know if you’ll be rallying with the 99% in Washington D.C. on Dec. 5-9!

Take Back the Capitol has many great events you can attend:

Monday, December 5: Set up the People’s Camp
After checking in, pitching tents, and making signs and banners at the People’s Camp (near 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, Northwest), dinner and entertainment will be hosted by OurDC, a local organization of unemployed and underemployed residents.

Tuesday, December 6: Take Back the People’s House
From the People’s Action Center (Lower Senate Park, near C Street and New Jersey Avenue, Northwest), we’ll form groups and fan out to congressional offices, to remind members of Congress that the Capitol is the People’s House, and demand that they represent the 99%.

Wednesday, December 7: “Make Wall Street Pay”;
We’ll swarm K Street, the lobbying center for the world’s most powerful corporations, and track down those responsible for crashing the economy and causing millions of 99%-ers to lose their jobs and homes–while failing to pay their fair share of taxes.

Thursday, December 8: Demand Justice for the 99%
The day’s events will include multiple speak-outs throughout the Capitol, a national prayer vigil with unemployed folks and faith leaders, a mass march on key congressional leaders, and a lively jubilee action.

Friday, December 9: Take It Home
We’ll pack up and head home, and keep the pressure on our representatives in Congress to do right by the 99%.

Even if you can’t make it to one of these amazing events, you can still play an important role to fight for extending unemployment insurance and jobs for the 99%, not more giveaways to the 1%.

We’ve had enough. We are going to tell the world what the 99% is all about. No more job-killing cuts. No more war. No cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

We want good jobs, an equal opportunity to prosper for all of us, and a democracy that works for the 99%, not the 1%. Join us Dec. 5-9 to show your support.
